Shocking revelations that will change three lives
forever.
At the end of a long winter in well-to-do Ridgedale, New
Jersey, the body of a newborn is found in the woods
fringing the campus of the town's prestigious university.
No one knows the identity of the baby, what ended her
very short life, or how she wound up among the fallen
leaves. But among the residents of Ridgedale, there is no
shortage of opinions.
When freelance journalist, and recent Ridgedale
transplant, Molly Anderson is unexpectedly called upon to
cover the disturbing news for the Ridgedale Reader—the
town's local paper—she has good reason to hesitate. A
severe depression followed the loss of her own baby, and
this assignment could unearth memories she has tried so
hard to bury. But the history Molly uncovers is not her
own. Her investigation unravels a decades-old trail of
dark secrets hiding behind Ridgedale's white picket
fences.
Told from the perspectives of three Ridgedale women,
Kimberly McCreight's taut and profoundly moving novel
unwinds the tangled truth behind the tragedy, revealing
that these women have far more in common than they could
have ever known. That the very worst crimes are committed
against those we love. And that—sooner or later—the past
catches up to all of us.
